[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
If you ever find a way to forgive me
If you ever find a way to put this all to rest
Because I'm hanging on your dress now like a little boy

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
When all that you wanted, all that you wanted
Was a good man, all right
Right in the middle of another big fight
Boom back, another one tonight
Blood never forgets but who protects
The memories when we bleed each other from the vein?

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
And if you ever find a way to make this interesting
If I ever find a way to stop disintegrating
Into pieces that I was that you destroy

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
When all that you wanted, all that you wanted
Was a good man, all right
Right in the middle of another big fight
Go to bed it's getting light out
Why do you, why do you, why do you
Always find me in the places when I'm coming down?

[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins]
And how do you do it when I'm overwhelmed by a violet sky?
And we fly in a decayed orbit 66,000 miles an hour goes by
When we kissed and only now do I feel your mouth
Like an ache you never knew
And it was right in front of you
Oh how do you do it? Roots in the soil untangled
Releasing in sweet summer oil, still I recoil like mace
In all the little moments I pushed you away that I can't erase
Every moment overflows with power, 66,000 miles an hour

[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins]
And if you ever find a way to forgive me
If you ever find a way to put this all to rest
Because I am hanging on your dress now like a little boy

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
When all that you wanted, all that you wanted
Was a good man, all right
And all that you wanted, all that you wanted
Was a good man

[Outro: Stephan Jenkins]
Was a good man
Was a good man
Was a good man
Was a good man
Was a good man
Was a good man

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
